Orange is the New Black season 3 has added actor and comedian Mike Birbiglia to its lineup.
Though we don’t know the role Mike Birbiglia will play in Orange is the New Black season 3, we do know that the role is “recurring,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Birbiglia is best known to our readers as cancer support group leader Patrick in the book-to-film adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars, which hit theaters this past June.
The actor is the latest in a growing lineup of new Orange is the New Black season 3 cast members. Other additions we know of include Blair Brown (Fringe) and Mary Steenburgen (30 Rock, Justified).
The third outing of the Netflix dramedy will see Laura Prepon return for the role of Alex in a full-time capacity. She was only available for a handful of episodes in season 2, which drew disappointment from fans of Alex and Piper’s storyline.
In addition to Alex getting more screen time, so too will other characters. Netflix promoted several actors and actresses to series regulars for season 3, including Selenis Leyva (Gloria), Nick Sandow (Joe Caputo), Adrienne C. Moore (Black Cindy), Samira Wiley (Poussey), and Dascha Polanco’s (Diaz).
We don’t know what the storyline will look like for season 3, but it’s safe to say fans are looking forward to what’s ahead after a stellar sophomore season 2, which concluded with the death of Vee.
Orange is the New Black is expected to premiere summer 2015 on Netflix.
